Fast through the cannon fodder, she shines brightly

Chapter 292 Widow (47)

"Mother, do you mean that I can learn to read?" Fang Cheng asked in surprise. He never thought about the future, he only knows to work hard, and when he grows up, he will carry a hoe to the ground like a village man. Reading is too much for him. Far away, he never expected it.

It’s just that when I see those scholars, I can’t help but look at them in wonder, especially for scholars who are exempt from taxes, who wouldn’t be envious? Fang Cheng always feels that scholars are different from them, and he can’t tell the specifics Yes, but the temperament of those people is different from that of the peasants, they are very gentle and polite, shining like a star.

"Yes, do you want to go? If you want to learn how to read, I will send you to the academy," Mu Wan said.

Fang Cheng hesitated and nodded, "Mother, I want to go."

He wants to become better, he wants to be promising, and he wants to touch that strange and longing-for different world.

Before going to the academy, Mu Wan has to make some preparations. The town is a distance away from the village. It is too troublesome to drive the ox cart every day, and drive the ox cart back. Besides, Fang Cheng just started going to the academy, so she is not at ease. Bring your own food, what will Fang Cheng eat then?

Taking all considerations into consideration, Mu Wan decided to buy a yard in the town, so that he could take care of Fang Cheng conveniently, and could notify the husband at any time if he had any problems. She had more than 700 taels in her hand, which was far enough.

But she didn't know the housing situation in the town, so she could only ask the proprietress to take care of it first.

The final choice was a small courtyard house, spacious inside, with blue bricks and stone tiles, high brown walls, two peach trees in the yard, an old well, and a grocery store not long after turning the door, it was very convenient to buy daily necessities.

Mu Wan also bought the tables, chairs, benches and cabinets in the house, and it cost 350 taels in one go.

She explained everything about her hometown. Within two or three months, she may come back less. The vegetables and sweet potato crops in the field need to be taken care of, and no one is looking after them. The weeds can grow up to the calf height. She asked the neighbor next door Aunt Chen helps take care of it, and half of the food grown will be given to her.

The news that she was going to move out stunned the villagers, and became the center of the topic again. They were all discussing in amazement. They didn't know whether Mu Wan rented or bought a house. They only had one thought in their minds, Widow Fang was going to move out. The town is about to send my son to be a scholar. All these will cost a lot of money. No one in their village can afford to live in the town, and as we all know, it takes a lot of money to raise a scholar, and it can almost cost a family Squeeze it dry, they knew that Widow Fang was rich, but they didn't expect her to be so rich.

It's only been half a year, and they couldn't believe it. The poorest and most miserable family in the village before, they were lucky and turned over in the blink of an eye. The women who used to be weak and incompetent, weak and deceitful, also became a woman in a blink of an eye. They bought a golden hen, and their business was booming. This sudden change made them unable to recover.

The women who made silk flowers panicked, "Xiaowan, you went to the town, are you still making silk flowers?"

They really didn't want to lose this job, and only after they made money on their own did they realize how comfortable their life was.

Mu Wan smiled and said: "Of course I did, but it will definitely be more troublesome in the future. I can only come back when Chengzi is resting. When you are done, you can only send it to the town."

"That's good." The women breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces. They are not afraid of trouble, as long as they don't lose the job, they can do whatever they want.

Mu Wan packed up the sheets and bedding at home, and locked them in a wooden cabinet so as not to collect dust when she came back. The clothes, shoes, and the dried fruits and meat she dried were to be taken away, so they had to be sorted and packed.
